My proposed solutions to the "tush push" play in USA football:
1. All tush push plays, just like all turnovers, are automatically reviewed (for false starts, etc.): and automatically are treated as a coach's challenge by the tush-pushing team. If any offensive penalty is found, the challenge fails.

Seven years ago today I dreamed that President Trump signed an executive order saying that college football bowl games could only have teams with the same nicknames playing against each other. Georgia had to play Fresno State in Bulldogs, Texas A&M had to play New Mexico State in an Aggie Bowl, etc.

I tend to have football-related dreams on Nov. 10. Twelve years ago today I dreamed that the Tennessee Titans changed their name to the Nashville Pickers, and trader a player to Green Bay, upon which (at his introductory press conference) he said, "I'm a Picker and a Packer."

Forests are moving up mountain peaks- in a lot of areas much faster than theorized. And it doesn't seem to be due to climate change.

Jo was a cherished friend for the last two decades, we made great memories together dissecting dust on four continents. She was also a brilliant scientist whose unselfish collaborations enhanced my career. It's such a shock that we've lost her, and I'm heartbroken.

Brilliant idea- do isotopic analysis on feather samples of vagrant birds that showed up way out of their biogeographical range, to help figure out where they were coming from. Results made researcher wonder, were they confused, or trying to start a range expansion?

Why some 'lost' birds took a wrong turn - on purpose
A new study investigates why some lost birds that stray far from their normal migratory routes end up thousands of miles off course.

Could this have had anything to do with the recent spectacular heist?
The Louvre's password was.... "Louvre". And it apparently hadn't been changed since 2014?

Can you guess the Louvre's spectacularly bad security password? (Yes, it's that bad)
Thieves stole over $100 million in jewels from the world's most famous museum, and a dumb security password made it easy. Let this be your reminder: check your own passwords.

This #DusStorm has 2 parts due 2 wind & land effects. The lighter yellow part forms by steady winds lifting fine #dust evenly over flat desert. The thicker reddish zone near Mountains comes from stronger, turbulent winds lifting more dust higher, making it look denser & heavier.
